#12Mitchell is the only person I can think of who went through the cycle of tinkerer/IC -> founder -> CXO and then back to IC in his own company. Also, his writings on Zig has been tremendously helpful for someone like me who is curious about it. Huge respect from a fellow IC!

#13Drop the “Hashi”. Just Corp. It’s cleaner. Jokes aside, it's an end of an era. Mitchell has always been one of my role models both as an amazing engineer and a really decent, humble human being. I'm really looking forward to other amazing things he's going to build.
CorpyCorp could work

ExVMwareCorp may work.

#15We've gone full circle! I originally launched Vagrant here on HN in 2010, which was at the top of HN very briefly for the day. Now here I am 14 years later witnessing my departure post in that very same spot. A strange experience! Thanks for the support over the years. A lot of the initial community for the projects I helped start came from here.

#16No mention about what's next ? Hm, why.
Doubt there's anything sinister or shady about that. Maybe he doesn't have any plans. Or maybe he just doesn't feel like sharing those plans or doesn't feel obliged to share them.

#17Honestly feels a bit like the end of another great company - Chef (Adam Jacob). Great tooling, built with great engineers but business realities forced it to take some unfortunate turns. I hope Hashicorp will manage to find its stride and not end up as some bullet point in a long "solutions" portfolio of some software conglomerate. And thank you Mitchell for all the work. Can't wait to see what is coming next from yo…
Forgot about Chef... Good times...

#18Is there any one individual or group responsible for HashiCorp's switch to BSL? From what I saw Mitchell let go of running the company and now that HashiCorp is not so cool anymore it's time to get out.

IBM, would you choose to trust statements[1] posted from a throwaway account

#19Looking forward to what Mitchell does next. I have always enjoyed reading his code, a fantastic role model.
This is what he's working on atm, including regular updates on progress: https://mitchellh.com/ghostty
